Pure Thoughts
Ebony Child
Ebony Child
a child with everything against him
a child born without a silver spoon
a child without the privilege
of seeing the raising of the moon
Ebony Child
a child who has never seen a shining star
a child whose dreams seem so out of reach
and far
Ebony Child
born within the grim city slums
a child who has never seen a playground
a child who has never heard a joyous sound
Ebony Child
born into a single parent home
a child who feels unwanted
and all alone
Ebony Child
a child who must struggle to rise above the rest
a child who works so hard
and strives to be the best
Ebony Child
trapped into a world that seems so uninviting
a child trying to find his place
a child trying to leave a mark
on a world so frightening
Ebony Child
working hard to make his dreams come true
a child trying to show the world
he can make it to
Ebony Child
he walks proud and tall
because despite life's adversities
he knows he'll survive it all
a child with everything against him
a child born without a silver spoon
a child without the privilege
of seeing the raising of the moon
Ebony Child
a child who has never seen a shining star
a child whose dreams seem so out of reach
and far
Ebony Child
born within the grim city slums
a child who has never seen a playground
a child who has never heard a joyous sound
Ebony Child
born into a single parent home
a child who feels unwanted
and all alone
Ebony Child
a child who must struggle to rise above the rest
a child who works so hard
and strives to be the best
Ebony Child
trapped into a world that seems so uninviting
a child trying to find his place
a child trying to leave a mark
on a world so frightening
Ebony Child
working hard to make his dreams come true
a child trying to show the world
he can make it to
Ebony Child
he walks proud and tall
because despite life's adversities
he knows he'll survive it all
